Scan Barcode to auto enter Data into a field


I would like our customer (who receives a barcode with a unique serial number) to be able to scan that barcode via their phone camera and that it open my Typeform form and the Serial # be auto-populated in a field without them having to type it manually. Is this possible?

Hi @lifeship Welcome to the community! Happy to have you here. :grinning: We don’t currently have this feature, but this sounds pretty cool! Out of curiosity, is the serial number assigned to a product they’re buying from you?

any news about this feature? reading a barcode and QR code is very useful.

Hi @fxdavis We don’t have this in the roadmap, but if anything changes, we’ll post about it here. 😀

I have a similar request, but instead of scanning the QR code to launch the form, I want users to be able to respond to a question by scanning a QR code via their camera app.  e.g. membership/loyalty cards often have a QR code on the back that encodes the membership number.  By scanning this, we can speed up the entry, and avoid data entry/keystroke errors.

Looks like people have been requesting this for 2 years now, is it on the roadmap yet? I really need this functionality.

Hi @illuminoughtu We don’t have plans to add this to the roadmap since there are a few other features (like partial completion) that are requested more often, but if that changes, we’ll post about it here!
